Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional one-in-multiple-out connection manner is used to power multiple fans, then power supply and control can be achieved, but the connection becomes complex with messy and numerous wires, leading to difficulty in organizing wires in the fan mounting space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a connector as an intermediary component that mediates between the power source and multiple fans. This connector integrates multiple connection functions into a single device, allowing power and control signals to be distributed to multiple fans through one unified interface rather than requiring separate wire connections to each fan, thereby simplifying wire organization and reducing connection complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple wire connection functions into a single connector assembly. The connector integrates power transmission, control signal transmission, and fan connection functions into one unified component, eliminating the need for numerous separate wires and connectors, thus reducing the complexity of wire connections and improving ease of wire organization
2Reliability
If numerous connectors are used to connect multiple fans, then power and control connections can be established, but poor contact may easily occur, affecting the use effect of the product
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple electrical connection functions into a single integrated connector. Instead of using numerous separate connectors for power and control signals, the invention merges these functions into one connector assembly that establishes all necessary electrical connections simultaneously, reducing the total number of connectors and minimizing the risk of poor contact
Solution Approach 2:
The connector serves as an intermediary that consolidates multiple electrical connection points. By routing all power and control connections through this single intermediary device, the patent ensures consistent and reliable contact across all fan connections, eliminating the variability and potential poor contact issues associated with multiple separate connectors
